An alternative: culture of health. Contextualization and interdisciplinarity

Abstract

The article contains a theoretical-practical experience with the objective of solving insufficiencies in the teaching-learning of the History of Cuba in the career of Medicine. This result of the Research Project, "HISTOVIDA: Conception to raise the cultural, ethical and humanistic level of students", in the University of Medical Sciences of Las Tunas is produced in the context of a complex economic, political, social, environmental situation and evident sequels in the population affected at national and international level by the COVID 19 pandemic. The treatment to the health culture content through didactic transposition is the alternative applied before the social need of a greater relation among the disciplines of the student's formation curriculum. A methodology is designed and procedures are determined that guide the solution to integrative teaching tasks with an interdisciplinary and contextualization approach, for the solution of professional problems. The significant and developmental transcendence is evidenced in cognitive, procedural and affective transformations that express a dialectic unity between the teacher and the student, their scientific and ethical training and a relationship of this discipline with the medical profession, demonstrated by means of experiential pedagogical experience, critical opinion workshops and collective construction.
